At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, in a deep depression, there is a small village that is destined not to appear on the Chinese map.
The village is very small, only the size of a palm, with only eighty-one households, no more than one.
According to the parchment genealogy in the village whose handwriting has been blurred, the history of the village can be traced back to hundreds of years ago. The ancestors of the village had already taken root in this col at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Yes, it has been settled until now.
The villagers mainly use ancient surnames, and the patriarchs of the past dynasties and even the current village head are all people with ancient surnames.
For hundreds of years, the number of households in the village has been maintained at 81, and there has never been one more or one less. This is one of the three village rules in the village.
There are three village rules. The first one is that there must be 81 households in the village. If there are more households, they will be kicked out.
The second village rule is that the ancestral houses of the 81 households can only be repaired and cannot be dismantled. That is to say, the houses in the village have to remain in their original state since they were built and cannot be moved. , and an identical house had to be rebuilt on the original site.
? The first two village rules seem unreasonable but acceptable, but the third village rule seems a bit outrageous.
There are eighty-one households in the village, and they have to support the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple in the village for eternity.
?The first two village regulations, violators are the same as above!
These three village rules have never been violated. Although hundreds of years have passed, the current villagers no longer know where the rules came from, but they all understand a truth. The villagers in the village rarely get sick and rarely suffer disasters. Life is always peaceful. There are 312 villagers in 81 households. There are 109 people who are over 100 years old. Those who are 90 years old can still work in the fields during busy farming seasons. However, in a radius of more than 200 li, only this village has so many long-lived people, which is amazing.
On the contrary, those villagers who moved out of Gujing Village, although none of them suffered a catastrophe, there were not as many long-lived people as there were in the village.
The village is called Gujing Village, and the Taoist temple that is supported is called Gujing Temple.
Gujing Temple was built on a small hill in the middle of Gujing Village, and eighty-one ancestral houses with ancient surnames were arranged in a patchwork order around Gujing Village.
If someone can look down from a high altitude, they will find an amazing scene. The arrangement of the eighty-one houses is unbelievably the same as the ranking of the eight trigrams, and the Taoist temple is just at the center of the trigrams.
It's a pity that since ancient times, no one has come to the high altitude of Zhongnan Mountain to discover this scene. In fact, even if someone flies to the top of the plane and looks down, they will only find that the top of Gujing Village and Gujing Temple is always shrouded. A piece of white mist, the village can't see it, and the Taoist temple can't be seen either.
Gujing Village is small, and Gujing Temple is even smaller, not only small but also dilapidated.
The Taoist temple has a long history and was built at the same time as Gujing Village. The Taoist temple has not been repaired for hundreds of years. The vermilion courtyard wall has already collapsed, the two gates are tilted to one side, and the floor tiles in the courtyard are also broken. Later, the main hall of the Taoist temple was even more dilapidated.
This seems to be a Taoist temple without incense.
In fact, this Taoist temple does not have much incense. Few people have entered the ancient well temple for hundreds of years. Even the local villagers will not step in casually. There are few people.
Because of Gujing Temple, there are only three and a half people.
A scruffy old man in Taoist robes who has been dozing off under the old locust tree in the Taoist temple all the year round.
Sitting in front of the Sanqing Statue in the Sanqing Hall was a middle-aged man holding a rusty iron sword in his arms, silent all day long.
There is also a young man in his twenties who hides in the Taoist Jing Pavilion all day long and rarely steps out.
As for the other half, it was the elder brother who stepped out of Gujing Temple eight years ago and never returned.
? The sun sets in the west, and the night sets in Zhongnan Mountain!
Most of the families in Gujing Village have started to light fires and cook. After a while, the thirty-ninth family walked out. A middle-aged woman walked briskly to the Taoist temple on the hill behind her house with a wooden bucket in her hand. The wooden barrel in his hand was placed in the middle of the dilapidated gate, and then he bowed respectfully towards Guan Nei and saluted, but turned around and left without looking inside.
This is the rule of Gujing Village for hundreds of years. Every day, three meals will be sent to Gujing Guanmen by a family.
The slovenly old man under the old locust tree opened his cloudy eyes, stood up slowly, went to the door, picked up the wooden bucket, and then returned to the locust tree. He walked over slowly, and the young man in the attic was the last to come. The three of them sat cross-legged under the tree and opened the wooden door.I want to find a place to rest, and I will follow you out of the mountain after dawn.¡±
In Tangshan, Hebei, there is a huge business empire, the Baoxin Department.
Half of the energy, minerals and real estate in Hebei have been invested by the Baoxin Department. The name of the Baoxin Department has always been at the forefront of the business map of the Beijing-Tianjin Wing Triangle, and it has also extended to other areas in recent decades, but Baoxin is a hidden existence.
Ordinary Chinese people don't know about the existence of the Baoxin Department and have never heard of it, even the vast majority of businessmen in the mall don't know about it.
Baoxin Department is a synonym, a consortium that controls dozens of companies. Few people know that the surname of Baoxin¡¯s helm is Chen. The names at the top of the list would all smile lightly, with a little disdain along the way.
In China, some people will kick you out even if you spend money to invite them to be on the list. Obviously, the Chen family belongs to those who are not on the list.
Few people know the history of the fortune of the Chen family of the Baoxin family, but those who know it seem to have heard a rumor that the ancestors of the Chen family seemed to have had entanglements with a Taoist during the war years, and it seems that the Chen family only started to have a family from then on. signs of prosperity.
For these, the Chen family never defends, denies or admits, because most of the Chen family members don't know how they built this business empire, and only those at the helm of the Chen family know the secrets.
In this generation, the person at the helm of the Chen family is called Chen Sanjin.
Standing at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, in front of the gate of Gujing Guan!
